Species 6. (Mus, Hankey.) 
FASCIOLARIA GRANOSA. Fasc. testd subpyriformi, spird 
acuminatd, apice papillari ; anfractibus spiraliter irre- 
gulariter striatis et sulcatis, superné concavo-depressis, 
ad angulum tumidiusculis et fortiter tuberculatis, labro 
margine plicato-dentato ; luteo-fuscescente, epidermide 
fuscé crassé, peculiariter granosd, indutd, columella et 
aperture limbo aurantio-rufescentibus. 
THE GRANOSE Fascrouaria. Shell somewhat pyriform, 
spire acuminated, papillary at the apex; whorls irre- 
gularly spirally striated and grooved, concavely de- 
pressed round the upper part, slightly swollen and 
strongly tuberculated at the angle, lip plicately toothed 
at the margin; yellowish-brown, covered with a thick 
peculiarly granose brown epidermis, columella and 
edge of the aperture orange-red.

The F. granosa is chiefly remarkable, as its name 
indicates, on account of the epidermis being raised through- 
out in fine solid conspicuous grains, a peculiarity which I 
do not remember to have observed in any other shell; 
they are developed in a prominent degree in all stages of 
growth, and have almost the appearance of some extraneous 
coralline deposite. The magnificent specimen here figured, 
far exceeding in size and richness of colour any of those 
originally described, was recently collected by Capt. 
Hankey R.N., during the voyage of H.M.S. Collingwood. 
Species 7. (Mus. Cuming.) 
Fascrouaria satmo. Fase. testd pyriformi, apice papil- 
lari, anfractibus ventricosis, superné concavo-depressis 
et spiraliter striatis, ad angulum acute tuberculatis, 
inferné contractis; columella peculiariter excavatd, 
labro margine dentato; albicante, epidermide corned 
olivaced indutd, columellé et aperture limbo eximie 
colore salmonis. 
THE SALMON Fasctozaria. Shell pyriform, papillary at 
the apex, whorls ventricose, concavely depressed and 
spirally striated round the upper part, sharply tuber- 
culated at the angle, contracted at the lower ; columella 
peculiarly excavated, edge of the lip toothed ; whitish, 
covered with an olive horny epidermis, columella and 
edge of the aperture delicate salmon-colour.

An extremely interesting species distinguished by its 
complete pyriform growth, excavated delicate salmon- 
coloured columella and rich olive horny epidermis. This 
and the preceding species, deprived of epidermis, are often 
confused the one for the other, they will, however, be found, 
from the accompanying figures and descriptions, to differ 
abundantly,
